Stranger from the Past — Penny Jordan

Would they become lovers now?

The demands of a growing business meant Sybilla had less time to think about the past, about a lonely future--and definitely no time to become emotionally involved. Ever again. Not after Gareth Seymour.

Ten years had changed them both--but hadn't erased her feelings. That tormenting realization came when Gareth suddenly returned, threatening to send her emotions reeling back in time, to weaken her defenses and leave her vulnerable once more to the man who'd shattered her confidence and broken her heart!

Mills & Boon UK Version

'I don't want anything from you at all, except you stay out of my life.'

Gareth Seymour had shattered Sybilla's emotions once and she had resolved that she would never allow him an opportunity to repeat the experience. For ten years she had managed to stay out of his way. But now he was back in her life with a vengeance. And, what was worse, the powerful attraction she felt towards him seemed to have increased rather than diminished. There was no way of avoiding the man. But perhaps this time round she night be able to resist him?

Hero: Gareth Seymour
